For my 3rd paper topic I plan on writing about the evolution of reality tv. From the beginning, when reality television started in the 1950s with the growth of quiz shows to reality television today in 2010. I plan on focusing on the "quizlings" from the Golden Age of television such as the quiz shows Twenty One (NBC) and The $64,000 Question (CBS), then comparing them to reality tv shows today such as Fear Factor (NBC), Survivor (CBS), Project Runway (BRAVO), and maybe even Keeping Up with The Kardashians (E!) and The Real World (MTV).
Some questions to explore:
1. Are all reality tv shows fixed and scripted? and have they always been this way?
2. How much has rtv really changed since the 1950s?
3. Is the audience the same?
